So, I just checked the freq is set to 522.xx for both boards.
That explains the low hashrate, but I have no way to bump it up.
It is labeled R4_8.0T... the thing is that on pool side it sometimes drops down to 6.5Th (24hr average 7.6Th)
The manual one is 8.5Th - 8.7Th consistent.
I might try the Nov 2018 fw and see if that works better.
Thanks for all your input guys!

Hmmm, so I ended up flashing the Nov 2018 FW and not a single change
Still dead set @ 7.5 Th, chip freq 522.xx for both boards.
Fan changed from Fan3 to Fan5 but still set at 1800
No HW errs and temps are really cool:
Chain# Freq(avg) Temp(PCB) Temp(Chip)
7 522.17 49-44 64-59
8 522.26 43-55 58-70
I noticed that if you try to access the advanced settings by requesting the /cgi-bin/minerAdvanced.cgi page it loads and I can see all the available frequencies.
I tried selecting a higher setting like 587.50 but I get a message saying:
"It will take about 3 hours on search frequency before mining! Are you sure?"
I wasn't sure
Anyone ever played with that? and more importantly... Did it work?
